    I got out for an hour last weekend, was too busy changing the wheel bearing on my Explorer to make it out today. Too bad, it was nice out.

    I live just across the St. Clair River near Port Huron MI USA, only about 100 miles from you. We've had some beautiful weather, 64F yesterday, roads were dry and most of the snow melted. Went for a great ride, have had about 1 warm spell per month with temps above 50F and dry roads. Just enough to keep me sane!

    Ok, I'll ask. Why do we live here? Weather blows, roads are crap, the F-ing government just raised the price of BEER to $50/case. Oh maybe I will grab the new FREE College education for my kids the Libs just unveiled. Oh damn, I make too much so I will have to pay more for that too. Fooking Liberals. Your right. Winter Sucks (as the 30cm's is falling outside)

    Hey now, absence makes the heart grow stronger... It just makes us appreciate the good and even the not all that good days more.

    Was a beautiful morning for a ride! :p And the wife needed the car and I wanted to test out my new battery... You know, to be honest, it's not that I don't like riding in the rain, it's just all the extra gear I need to take on and off that's annoying.

    Yup .... rode the VFR to work today.

    0*C when I left the house .... almost an hour commute of 4 lane highways. It was wet and dirty out.

    It's sunny now and it looks like I'll get 14*C on the way home. :)

    well I'm glad the weather is supposed to be shite now for the foreseeable future. May have torn ACL this week. waiting for 2 to 3 weeks for MRI then see if its a trip of the orthopedic surgeon or not. Son of a dirty rotten little...

    No shiit, Dennis? That blows. If you are planning on a knee injury its best to do it in the fall and heal over winter. I did mine 2 years ago, long recovery. But 2-3 weeks for MRI is fantastic here in the Peoples Republic of Ontario. My MRI took 5 months to get. Good luck. Hopefully you are back on the bike when the weather gets nice.

    Just got a call, saw doctor today, said I was willing to drive to where ever, got appt in Guelph for March 28. Ya I should have planned that out a little better. So two weeks for appt is pretty damn good. I was going to be willing to pay myself and drive to Buffalo if I had too. Can-am or trike here is come!!

    They run the one here in Guelph overnight so if you really want in and don't mind doing it at night it can be pretty quick.
